OUR STORY SO FAR:Our story starts in July, 2007. I was home, doing nothing, when my neighbour and good good friend, Janas (u might know his band, Defying Control), knocked at the door. I pulled up my pants, kicked the bong outta the way and opened. We hung out a little and he showed me this band he thought I was going to like a lot. Turned out to be a band called Social Distortion.
I was always a non-enthusiastic fan of punk rock music. I listened to NOFX, Millencolin, Pennywise, etc, a lot, when I was 17 or so, but I had kinda lost interest in the scene when I discovered rockabilly music, and had not listened to any punk rock in ages. This (little?) band called Social Distortion changed that. They had the sound, the look, the voice and the lyrics I associated with rockabilly and roots rock, yet, they were punky. And Mike Ness just looked so cool.
Well, I had, by that time, already tried to start a lotta bands. Joined a couple of others, none of them really worked out. As soon as I heard Mike Ness kick out the intro solo for Dont Drag Me Down, i knew that this time I just had to try again.
So that night, at the local bar scene, I talked with my good pal Charlie. He was the best drummer I'd ever heard, or played with, so it seemed stupid not to talk to him. He also sings like an angel, and has a very very kind heart and beautifull skin. He seemed cooperative enough so we set out to find us a bass player, another guitar player, and maybe someone who could actually sing. That bass player turned out to be the bass player from a local reggae band called Chapadux. Speedy Gonzalez. I was never a big fan of reggae, i think it's like a gay version of ska, but I knew Speedy G. had been into punk rock, and was a big fan of Blink 182.
Blink 182 was another band i had never actually heard until that summer. I always dismissed them and talked shit about them for being mainsteam, but I never really bothered to check them out. Untill then. I had to check them out, both Speedy G and Charlie loved the band (Charlie actually sounds a lot like Travis, if ya ask me.) and I just had to see what all the fuss was about. I ended up loving them. Not as much as Social Distortion, not as much as NOFX, but damned if I didnt listen to Wendy Clear every night of that summer, while sittin in my car, smokin the last joint of the day.
So I guess our little band was set. We decided we didnt need another guitar player (we tried, with our homie Giovanni, but it just didnt work out.) and we started writing songs. I ended up singing, not that I'm very good at it, but I guess I'm okay, as long as I keep writing voice lines with two notes, tops. We got ourselves a couple of tunes, no covers, and we threw our first show in Sept 1. Opening for Defying Control, a very technical, very fast and pretty good punk hardcore band. The show was ok.
I guess since then, the only thing that changed was our bass player. Speedy G. quit the band, Tom joined. We have a shitload of songs. Most are shameless rip offs, but a couple of them are actually good. Some songs from our just-recorded-straight-out-of-the-studio-into-the-web EP are online now for your listening pleasure. Kick off your shoes, light yerself a doobie and listen, maybe you wont think we totally suck.
Luv, Billy
